MALAYSIAN football slumped to a new low as chaos descended upon the Darulmakmur Stadium late last night. What was predicted to be a cracking semifinal between Pahang and Johor Darul Takzim turned into a bloodbath instead, as many fans left the stadium soaked in the their own blood.

More than 50,000 fans had tickets to the 40,000 capacity stadium, with many sitting around the track area surrounding the pitch because the stadium was filled to the rafters, and then some While the security may be questioned for allowing that many fans into the stadium, it can’t be their fault if fans actually possessed a ticket to enter the stadium. The Pahang FA may come under serious scrutiny as to how there were 10,000 more tickets than seats. The overcrowding was merely the tip of the iceberg of a chain of disastrous events that followed. After almost an hour escorting the distraught, seat-less fans out of the stadium, the police officer in charge announced, “This game is now safe to continue”.

Oh, how was he wrong. Just as the players came on the pitch and the match looked like it was going to start, unruly fans started hurling objects from outside the stadium and some of it hit the Johor Darul Takzim fans.Cue, chaos. Immediately the visiting fans started rushing out of the stadium to confront the attacker, and this sparked outrage from the Pahang fans, who wanted the game to start. Fans started spilling onto the pitch and the game eventually was called off, at the time it was scheduled to end.

This is not the first time Malaysian football has been tainted with violence. Just a week ago, Johor Darul Takzim’s match against Kelantan was postponed for 40 minutes because of crowd trouble when 3,000 fans had tickets without serial numbers. The Terengganu FA was also slapped with a RM50, 000 fine for their fans’ behaviour against Selangor earlier this year. While the fans should be faulted for their disgusting acts, it is the state FA who should bear the full brunt of this fiasco.

This problem wouldn't have existed if the appropriate amount of tickets were sold. Where did the extra tickets come from? Who pockets the extra ticket sales? To unscrupulous officials? A fitting punishment would be to have Pahang play this match behind close doors, in a neutral ground. The Elephants certainly don’t deserve home advantage after this shameful act.

Johor Darul Takzim fans were left stranded as of 11.45 pm last night, unable to move because their bus were pelted with stones. Is this what they get for spending time and money to come and cheer their team and help reignite the passion of Malaysian football? This whole incident happened in full view of the Football Association Malayia (FAM) president Sultan Ahmad Shah, who is also the Sultan of Pahang. Our football is already in bad shape; all this unwanted pandemonium will merely push our football to the point of oblivion.

Key to encircling and containing China, US sets proxies in motion for color revolution in Malaysian streets. May 15, 2013(AltThaiNews) US-funded opposition fronts have vowed to overthrow the Malaysian government via disruptive and potentially violent street protests in the wake of general elections that saw their leader Anwar Ibrahim soundly defeated despite massive support from Western media, NGOs, and direct government intervention.

Pro-Pakatan Rakyat groups have vowed to overthrow the Barisan Nasional government this year through a massive street rally.

Speakers at a forum held yesterday unanimously agreed that waiting for five years until the next
general election was too long, and vowed to overthrow BN this year through “force”.

FMT also added that:

Electoral watchdog group Bersih 2.0 steering committee member Hishamuddin Rais pointed out that it was useless to take their unhappiness to the courts as he claimed the justice system was being controlled by the government.

“That is why we must take to the streets. We have to come out. What Najib likes is wrong, and what he doesn’t like is what we have to do,” he said.

“We will mobilise a big group and rally on the streets. This is not a threat, this is a promise,” he stressed.

Without a doubt, this premeditated sedition aimed at Malaysia's ruling government has been designed, funded, and directed from Washington on behalf of Wall Street and London, not by the Malaysian people on behalf of Malaysia's best interests.The street protests conducted by Bersih have all the hallmarks of US-backed "color revolutions," and this recent attempt to overturn election results that do not favor an overt US-proxy, foreshadows the same destructive, divisive, violent, and regressive unrest that has plagued Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria afterUS-engineered uprisingshave left each in turn destabilized, failed states overrun by extremists, dictators, and traitors many times worse than the governments activists sought to overthrow.And with Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria in hindsight, will Malaysians fall into this same familiar trap? Whatever discontent Malaysians may have with the current government, it is all but assured Bersih and US-proxy candidate Anwar Ibrahim will compound perceived injustices while compromising Malaysia's political, social, and economic stability, and begin channeling Malaysia's resources and energy toward foreign interests and designs,particularly those involving the encirclement and containment of China.An Alternative to the Tired Ploy of "Street Protests" For the average Malaysian seeking progress, a better bet than joining US-funded sedition would be to turn their attention toward organizing locally and focusing on pragmatic, rather than political, goals.Education,local economic development,health, and local infrastructure are all areas Malaysians, regardless of political affiliations, can work together on and improve regardless of who holds public office.And while special interests, both foreign and domestic, can indeed hinder such progress, they do not make such progress impossible. What is certain, is that corruption amongst Malaysia's ruling party pales in comparison to that of Wall Street and London - and Malaysians will place themselves in the path of guaranteed destruction by inviting in the very people who dominated them before achieving a hard-won independence.Democracy, in reality, is supposed to be a bottom-up exercise drawn from the grassroots. Bersih is clearly a vehicle for Anwar Ibrahim and his political machine - one whose message is funded, crafted, and declared from Anwar's political advisers and foreign backers, and disseminated across the movement - however cleverly "democratized" Bersih may attempt to appear.Malaysians do not need a political party to improve education, to grow their own food, to develop business locally by leveraging technology, or to improve local infrastructure and strengthen local communities. The time being wasted to assist Anwar Ibrahim's worming back into political power at the cost of peace, stability, and prosperity could be better spent developing truly grassroots pragmatic power.Real revolutionsdo not happen out on the streets - they are manifested in our schools, across industry, and within our communities. They are marked by pragmatism and true, enduring technological and socioeconomic progress - none of which are even promised by Bersih and Anwar Ibrahim's "People's Alliance." If the people of Malaysia truly want "change," they are going to have to do it themselves by building local institutions that technologically and pragmatically solve real problems rather than simply craft slogans and campaign promises that merely pander to the concerns of the people. Following the flags of Bersih into the streets will undoubtedly begin instability and division across Malaysian society that will jeopardize, not spur, real and very necessary pragmatic progress.
